Re: Random thoughts thread 2006.....playoff edition.

I think all of the western conference first round matchups are all very facinating. The east not so much.,

I'd say any of the higher seeds could lose, except the Spurs. San Antonio has somehow become the most under-appreciated team we've seen in a long time. How many games did they win this year? And some people think that they're not the favorites in the West? Ridiculous.

Re: Random thoughts thread 2006.....playoff edition.

The west is so interesting because the bottom 4 teams, Kings, Lakers, Clipper and Grizzlies are just so much better than the bottom 4 eastern conference teams. Plus the Nugs and Suns are very beatable.

The irony is that the nuggets are easily the worst division winner in the NBA.....

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Re: Random thoughts thread 2006.....playoff edition.

And the Grizzlies and the Clippers played an interesting game last night. The winner gets to play the Mavs and loser gets to play the Nugs and have homecourt advantage. The Grizzlies fans were cheering very loudly for the Clippers to win, but the Grizz pulled it out. (I'm joking about the who the fans were cheering for) But the NBA needs to correct this playoff format.

Wade isn't worth of washing Bron's jock for him let alone bet he guy that Bron's getting compared to. The only person that Bron should be getting comparisons to in today's NBA wears purple and gold.

Anything else is an insult.

Whoa. Hold on. I said Wadesque in that Wade was amazing from his first playoff series. Kobe was not. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes LeBron to adjust to the playoffs. Some players are HUGE during the regular season and just fade in the playoffs (i.e. Dirk) while others step it up during the playoffs (i.e. Kobe). I merely mentioned Wade because they were in the same draft class and because Wade adjusted so well in that first series against the Hornets.

um... WOW... Wade is an incredible player... and on top of that, in his first two years in the league he made a HUGE impact on his team in the playoffs, almost singlehandedly carrying them past some games. I would think that any player would be happy to have that kind of impact on his team during the playoffs... You don't give Wade nearly enough credit.

p.s. I don't think you're giving Wade nearly enough credit.

Ok, sorry..I misinterpreted your post as meaning that you were hoping to see if Bron could play on Wade's level in general.

Wade plays on a freaking all-star team and is never double-teamed. Lebron plays with Ilgauskas and a bunch of stiffs.

As for what Wade has done in the playoffs...ummm..he's been good..can't say he's been great, but he's been good. He's not in a position where he has to carry a team right now and if he has to carry them in the playoffs, they have no shot against the Pistons (they have little shot as it is, in my book)
